Matt, this type of statement is what started the whole conflict. There is no way I can agree with this.
I can't see why anyone needs "guns" in the first place. This sister
BlessD needs the heavenly Physician, but the whole town now has a "gunfight" over "how hurt" she really is/was. Meanwhile the ones who "hurt" her were never "arrested" in the first place, nor are they "brought to trial" now. This thread has become like a western movie where the bank robbers turn the citizens against each other while they ride out of town with the loot.
You say the "
LC was idolatrous" but that includes who? Every member? Every guest? How can you judge the hearts of people you never met? This is playing God.
This statement is outrageous: "every single soul who went into the LC and loved it at any stage of their experience there was entering into a level of idolatry." I couldn't say that about all the Catholics that entered their statue-filled churches. Calling the LC's a cult pales in comparison to this claim.
What is happening here?
Your last statement touches on an important point. The leaders bear much more responsibility, if not the entire blame. The "cooperators" have a little blame, but the "perpetrators" bear the most blame. This whole story about BlessD should have addressed the ones who spoke in that "meeting." Why haven't their names been mentioned? Who called that meeting? Who humiliated her? Can't we focus on the responsible ones? They started this whole thing ... and now I (and everyone else) am being called idolatrous! What a stretch "guilt by association" this has become.
LC leaders have failed us. Some are evil workers. Let's focus on that.
